About This Recipe

"We love this recipe. It's based on the recipe that Nobu made famous at his restaurant (which I highly recommend) and on his television appearances. I often add a good amount of seaweed to the salad, just because we like it so much."

Ingredients

sea salt

ground black pepper

7 ounces
fresh tuna filets
( sushi or sashimi grade)

2 ounces mesclun or 2 ounces
baby greens

3/4 cup
finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons
rice vinegar

2 teaspoons
water

1/2 teaspoon
granulated sugar

1 pinch
sea salt

1/4 teaspoon
mustard powder

1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper

4 teaspoons
grapeseed oil

4 teaspoons
sesame oil

3 tablespoons
soy sauce

Directions

Preheat a grill or broiler or lightly oiled cast iron pan.

Season the fish with a little sea salt and black pepper.

Briefly sear the tuna until its surface turns white.

Plunge the filet into iced water to stop it from cooking any further.

Shake off the excess water.

When sliced, the center of the tuna should be very pink with the edges seared white.
